XtraVision Staff Theft Claims Unsubstantiated
“XtraVision were super lax on their staff and there wasn't a whole lot stopping staff from just taking home whatever they wanted, even before they were close to closing”
Summary
There is no evidence in current reputable reports that XtraVision had lax controls allowing staff to take merchandise freely. News coverage focuses on the company's financial troubles, store closures, and liquidation, without mentioning permissive staff practices. Consequently, the claim about staff freely taking items is unverified.
